I decided to forgo my usual lunch of nothing and eat something at this actual place called Quaker Steak and Lube. QS & L (half restaurant and half Jiffy Lube) is an actual place in the good section of the bad side of town. The theory being since it takes so long to change your oil, you might as well make a day of it.
I ordered the lunch special which consisted of a steak sandwich, fries, Mt. Dew and up to 5 quarts of 10W-40 and noticed some handwriting on the wall that read 'Semper Gumby' meaning 'always flexible.' I felt it all fitting here in the last days of Babylon.
"Yep," said the old guy running the cash register. "Yep, yep. . .yep."
Unfortunately, this was all he said. He seemed to have trouble with the register, so another fellow came out and stared at it. "uh-huh," said he as he pecked some numbers.
"Yep, yep, yep."
"Uh-huh."
"Yep. . .yep. . .yep."
"Uh-huh. . .uh-huh."
Then I had a vision of these fellows.
And then it all made sense.

HA!
I love it when life gives you a clarity that no one else in the room can grasp. Hysterical!
I about killed myself laughing at these creatures when I found them on youtube.
